Just go into sneak mode and start looting. Luckily you don't actually need to learn any thief skills to start looting everything not nailed down. Most importantly, Xardas is in a tower in Nordmar.Įarning gold basically comes down to being a good thief and hunting and skinning animals in the beginning. Lester is in the desert by a pyramid or something. Diego is in one of the towns in the desert. Gorn is near Gotha and there is some tough combat when you go see him so be prepared. But the hunting skills and thief skills will give you a nice boost early on. This is one of those games where money stops being an issue partway through. The more you explore the richer you will get. Gold: This game is really massive and full of stuff to sell. Your main goal for the first part of the game is to find Xardas in Nordmar. It will probably be pretty tough though and there are no goals for you there early on. Its ok if you liberated Cape Dun, but dont do any more yet, until you actually know what is happening with the story.Įxploring: I would stay in Myrtana for the first part of the game but I guess it wouldnt hurt to visit the desert early. I don't know why they made the game like this. And there is plenty of game left after you make your decision. As you might expect, its hard to finish the game like this. The reason is because once you have done like 3 big decisions then you are locked in to that path and you can't do any quests for the other factions anymore. Then at the very end come back and make your decisions. Instead move on to the next town and do their quests. Go around to each town and do everything you can up until they ask you to make a big decision (like liberating the town, or crushing the nearby resistance base). Basically just play it like early gothic game. Other than that, feel free to level up whatever utility skills you want, as you get plenty of LP to spend.Įarly quests: Anything you can do that will give xp. Smithing is kinda mediocre in the base game but improved a lot with the community patch which you should be playing with. The alchemy 'permanent upgrade potions' is so good its basically mandatory if you are min maxing at all. Thief skills are a lot of fun, you can stop at difficult locks for early game. Other skills: Learn Quickly is obviously good to take early if you play a caster but not essential if you are mostly melee. If you pick up some magic I highly recommend crowd control spells like bloodlust, summon skeleton, time bubble. If you arent using the alternative balancing mod, then you have plenty of LP to experiment and branch out. It's not very hard to build a good character in this game, just get what sounds obviously good. Just make sure you eventually get all the perks for your style and you level up the stat for your style as well. There isnt a huge difference in effectiveness between 1h/2h/dual wield so just go for whatever you want (though, my favorite is 1h/shield for humans with a 2h for animals). I have the Ardea, Reddock & Cape Dun teleporter stones.Ĭombat skills: All the combat perks for whatever combat style you're going for, and the relevant stat (strength/hunting skill/ancient knowledge). Everything else has been standard fetch quests so far - can't find the goods missing from the orc warehouse in Cape Dun. I recall he goes somewhere specific, but can't remember where.Īre there any recommended quests at the start to pursue, to get one started? I've done the arena in Cape Dun and Reddock and also cleared out the patrols near Reddock, plus cleaned the mines. Where did Gorn & the others go? I don't really want to google and ruin the exploration, but I was told to talk to him and he's not in Ardea anymore. Is there any real issue with me exploring further afield at the start? I have one extra memory that is of the desert to the south, and I'd like to revisit it to see if it triggers any more recollections. How does one get the gold required for training? Training is crazy expensive, and short of murdering all the orcs in Cape Dun again, I'm not sure how to generate any meaningful capital. I'm wandering around doing quests (very enjoyable so far, none of that silly Oblivion/Skyrim quest marker rubbish), so I'm not especially looking for direction per se - rather some tips & tricks.Īre there any 'must-have' skills? I could probably boost strength so I can use better weapons, for example. That said, I'm a bit lost regarding what to do - I have about 70 unspent learning points (I haven't actually used any yet) and am still using the starting equipment. Beyond some hazy memories of murdering all the orcs in Cape Dun and selling their shit at Reddock, I don't have any baggage to prevent me from experiencing this 'fresh'. I first played G3 about 10 years ago, but couldn't really run it so gave up.
